Bike Hub Features Posted February 8, 2017 Share Fox's Metah builds on their original trail helmet the Flux, with the Metah adapting to the demands of modern trail and all-mountain riders. The design principles behind the Metah were to create a helmet with broader coverage and protection while maintaining good breathability at a light weight.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted February 8, 2017 Share Still better looking than these new enduro full faces everyone seems convinced you now need all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted February 8, 2017 Share Nice if you like Daffy Duck on your head.... It looked silly to me at first glance too. But I must admit. It kinda grew on me. The star spangled paint also makes it seem longer than it really is.The all black and similar variations look great. http://images.evo.com/imgp/enlarge/100165/437650/fox-metah-black-bike-helmet-matte-black.jpg Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, EmptyB and slickjay007 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatross Posted February 8, 2017 Share Been using the Metah for around a year now and was also worried at first about it's "bigness", I find it very comfortable. I can vouch for it's robustness as I hit a rock with the side of my head and only caused scratches on the paintwork with no head injuries, thumb however didn't come off so well, but that's another thread. Edit: also have the all Black version Edited February 8, 2017 by Albatross slickjay007 and Mambat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermophage Posted February 8, 2017 Share Having ridden since shortly after they landed in RSA...The visor is NOT problem in the slightest.However the lid is a little front heavy and has a slight tendency to want to flop downward if not tightned. Which so far has only been marginally irritating. Mostly only though when landing off drops while wearing sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inner retention system also has an adjustment where it attaches to the helmet near the strap mountings; just pull it loose and plug into the other holes.

Thermophage Posted February 8, 2017 Share And? You really find it being irritating in your vision? perhaps my eyes sit lower down on my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatman Posted February 8, 2017 Share On a very steep downhill it does obscure vision very slightly, but the longer peak saved my face when I landed chest first on a barbed wire fence. Shirt was torn up but not a mark on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
